Melrose has one of the most varied housing stocks in the Borders — Victorian villas around Dingleton and the High Street, smaller estates off Weirhill and traditional cottages up toward Eildon. Combine that with a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets and you get a town where reliable heating, sensible servicing intervals and quiet, efficient kit really matter.
MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Melrose. Most of our customers access the Home Energy Scotland Grant (currently up to £7,500) plus an interest-free loan on top — we handle the entire application as part of the quote. Crucially, every system is sized from a proper room-by-room heat-loss survey, not a back-of-the-envelope kW figure, so it actually performs through a Borders winter rather than just ticking a grant box.
Heat-pump performance in Melrose hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. TD6 properties vary from solid-stone walls to modern timber-frame builds, and each needs a different design temperature and flow strategy. We carry out the survey ourselves rather than outsourcing, so the design that lands in your inbox is the one we'll actually install.
Travel from our Kelso base: 25 minutes via the A6091.
Each heat pump we commission in Melrose is fully MCS certified and the documentation pack is sent direct to Home Energy Scotland so your grant funds release without delay.

Often, yes — but the radiators usually need upsizing, and we'll model heat loss properly for the older stone walls. We'll be honest if a high-efficiency boiler is a better short-term fit.
Yes — we deliberately keep autumn slots free for holiday-let owners across TD6. Booking in September or early October avoids a January breakdown when the property is fully booked.
Yes — modern Vaillant and Mitsubishi units operate efficiently down to around -15°C. We size and design every system specifically for Scottish climate conditions and check radiator output room-by-room.
Most owner-occupied Scottish homes qualify. We confirm eligibility and guide you through the Home Energy Scotland application as part of the quoting process at no extra cost.
Sometimes one or two need upsizing — rarely the whole house. We tell you exactly which (and the cost) inside the written quote, before you commit.
